Are Americans ready for Female-Female ticket (Hillary-Warren)?

Anyone who couldn't stomach voting for two women is probably solidly and enthusiastically in the Trump column already.

Yes.

On paper Warren is the right pick, I believe. The absolute number one issue for Clinton is keeping the democratic alliance together. Sanders has been ripping it apart and Warren would probably bring all but the most rabid of them in.

The main concern is whether Warren can be controlled. To the best of my knowledge, that is very questionable. But if she agrees to be a team player, then she should get the pick.

And yes, I do think she wants it.

Well, if you are right, then Warren as VP should be a no-brainer. Tim Kaine excites precisely nobody.

Honestly, the US was probably "not ready" for a black president in 2008, but Obama managed to transcend race, which was a pretty herculean effort. But he was simply a stonger candidate than McCain. Likewise, I do think that Hillary being a woman is a net negative in itself, but the quality of the candidate herself is still by far the most important factor. Anyway, I see zero reason why a double female ticket should fare worse than a female/male ticket. No voter opposed to the idea of a female president would vote for her anyway, just because her VP is a male.
